Samuel Adams Dunkelweizen

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Pours a dark amber. Almost brown. Iced Tea is a good description of color. Average white head. Aroma is banana, nutmeg, raisin. The taste is what gets me, I didn’t think i would like this beer but it turned out to be surprisingly good. It has a slight sweetness and has some complexity despite it’s rather light flavor. Light body, soft carbonation and a short finish. Decent surprise from this beer. Nothing over the top but very drinkable.

Bottle - Pours a nice cloudy brown. Big frothy off white head. Aroma of bananas and cloves. Great presentation, but the weak flavor lets it down. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a little banana, but overall just too watery to be anything more then average. Had higher hopes for this brew. Will try again.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a small white head. It has the aroma of molasses, clove, wheat and yeast. Tastes of brown sugar, banana, nutmeg, clove and raisin. This is a wonderfully complex quality beer.

Bottle. Poured a medium brown in color with a small head that diminished rapidly with virtually no lacing. The aroma was that of cloves and raisins with the scent of grainy malts and an earthy yeast odor. It tasted a little acidic and sweet with a mild bitter aftertaste that only lasted a little while. Mouthfeel was smooth, dry and medium bodied. Overall a tasty but average brew.

Samuel Adams Dunkelweizen is a cloudy tawny beer with a thin, dense, off white head that has outstanding retention and lacing. It smells spicy and a little sweet, with notes of clove, pear and raisins. It’s medium bodied with a metallic feel. The finish is quick and a bit gritty. It has a mellow flavor of banana and pear, with a light, grassy bitterness. It seems like it will get sweet, but it doesn’t. The aftertaste is musky. It’s not bad.

Smooth and refreshing, but lacks complexity I look for in a traditional german beer. Aroma was weak, with hints of clove and malt. Smooth, yet a bit on the watery side.
